A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human Calretinin(4-18aa PQQQPPYLHLAELTA), identical to the related rat sequence.
Alternative Synonym:
Calretinin, CR, 29 kDa calbindin, CALB2, CAB29
Calbindin is a calcium-binding protein belonging to the troponin C superfamily. Calretinin is expressed in central and peripheral nervous system and in many normal and pathological tissues. The rat and human calretinin exhibit 98% sequence homology and 91% homology to many other species. Two calcium binding proteins, calbindin and calretinin, have been reported to be expressed in abundance in Purkinje cells and other cell types in the cerebellum.
